Hi folks,

a player in my current eberron campaign is playing a Psychic Warrior Shifter (Razorclaw). After watching the X-Men movies again asked me if there is a way to attack with his claws while benefting from a high BAB (and gain more attacks per round in that way). So this is what I came up with:

Claws of the Beast V 2.0

Level: Psychic warrior 1
Display: visual
Manifesting Time: 1 swift action
Range: personal
Target: you
Duration: 1 hour/level
Power Points: 1+

In short:
You gain one attack with your claws (or two if you whish to attack with both hands), each dealing 1D4 points of damage plus your strength bonus. If your BAB is +6 or higher you gain additional attacks as normal.
The claws are considered natural weapons.
For the purposes of TWF those claws work like two light weapons. Neither attack is a secondary attack.

Augment: if you spend additional power points, you create sharper and more deadly claws as shown on the table below:

Power Points Claw damage (medium creature)
1.........................1D4
3.........................1D6
6.........................1D8
10.......................2D6
15.......................2D8



What do you think? Too weak or too powerful ?

Side Note: Those will benefit from the shifter feats that effect claw attacks (like Razorclaw Elite and Greater Rend) and items improving natural weapons/claws (Clawbracers for example)
